On and on people post threads about cycling their tanks here. I do have a question though. I just picked up a 10 gallon tank to use for hospital/breeding tank. I did a 25% water change in my 55 and used the water from that to set up the new tank. I figured since I was going to have to cycle the new tank, I might as well give it an extra start. I even soaked the new filter in the old water. The girl at my LFS tried selling me untreated feeder goldfish to cycle the tank, but I said no because what I just described above would work better. Right????? If so, how long would it take to cycle an already cycled new tank (make sense)?? I know I'm confusing myself too. The water is still a little cloudy, but that may be from the gravel or the white rocks that look like lava rock. Think it has something with lowering the ph, not sure, if you know tell me the name of it. I bought it at petsmart years ago but never used it.
